Grandson Charles Keeley of Gaines, Michigan and two great grand children. She worked with her husband at AC of Flint then retired to the family farm in Long Rapids, Michigan for 30 plus years. Thelma's love of cooking, canning, and gardening came from her joy in family life. She watched her mother daily and loved the aroma of all things cooking and baking in the kitchen. She loved how this affected family togetherness. Both mother and daughter wanted to open a bakery with their own baked goods. She loved to be in the kitchen cooking for her family. We are sure she must be in heaven cooking and baking up a storm. She will be missed by all of us who loved her. May God bless her and keep her until we meet again.
